Growing roses in Spain

| Hello to all,
I have several roses planted in my garden and they perform fantastic in spring but in summer they look to suffer a lot. Can anyone recomend me how to make them to perform well also in summer, can I plant trees around them protecting them from the summer afternoon sun? |

| A lot of rose bushes 'slow down' in the summer here in France too (summer up to 35°C), then start reflowering in the early autumn. Perhaps it's rather normal. I have some that are in the shade of taller bushes during the heat of the afternoon sun, and that seem to be perfectly happy that way. Perhaps the roots of trees might be too much competition for the rose bushes? And trees might in the end overshadow the rose bushes completely? Just food for thought. :-) |
